PRESENTED BY THE ACO AND ABC CLASSIC.
Join favourite ABC Classic presenters Genevieve Lang and Russell Torrance on a tour through the remarkable, inspiring and often shocking history of classical music. Across four nights they’ll survey 1000 years of music, introducing you to the key ideas, uncovering some neglected figures, and answering those burning questions: when did it all start? What really is the big deal with Bach? Why did suffragettes write so much classical music? Whether you’re a lifelong classical music lover or looking for a way in, expect to be informed, entertained and surprised.
Vanessa Hughes is no longer able to participate in these talks. We are delighted to welcome ABC Classic presenter Genevieve Lang to join Russell Torrance.
